Denise,

The images have to be uploaded to an online hosting site.  There are quite a few ones out there, just be sure that your images are not "protected" and limited to a "members-only" or "invite-only" setting.  I used www.flickr.com to host my user image and had no problems.

Once you upload your photos (just follow the image hosting websites instructions) normally a link is provided for each photo.  Just copy that link and insert it in your post.  If you want to put the picture (not just the link) in your post, use the button beneath the Italics button (the slanted "I".)  It is the bottom row of buttons, above the smiley faces, second from the left.  Click on that button and insert your link between the bracketed "img".  Feel free to test it out here in this post.  I'm sure some others will be along to give even easier to understand instructions!

Dennis covered it, but sometimes visuals will help.

Here is what the link should look like when you are creating your post:

Code: [Select]
[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2664/3987589396_88e4a1225a.jpg[/img]
Then when you preview it or actually post it, it will look like this:



(Except it will be an MRI of a brain, not a mug shot of Dennis)  ;)

So get those MRI pics on www.photobucket.com or www.flickr.com, and let's have a look.

Heyy Denise, that "after" MRi looks wayyyy better than before, eh? :)  I am interested to see how mine will look in about a year's time.  Thanks for sharing your pics with us!

hi all

Yes after images look alot better, there is a tiny bit left but surgeon did an excellent job debulking, u can see it better if u make pic larger.

It did look like a golf ball, I am so glad it is gone to, still may need radio surgery if there is growth.

o yes and by the way that after image was done 3 months after surgery, I get another MRI done in August which is when it will be decided wether I need radio surgery.

Wow Denise, looks great!
How far post-op was the 'after' MRI done? I had one done at 2 days post op and it looks like I'd been shot in the back of the head!
